Interinstitutional agreement on a more structured use of the recasting technique for legal acts

The committee adopted the report by its chairwoman Mrs Ana PALACIO VALLELERSUNDI (EPP-ED, E). It was in favour of the conclusion of the interinstitutional agreement subject to the following conditions: the agreement should apply to any proposal for recasting submitted from the date of its entry into force, which should be the day following its publication in the Official Journal; an assessment should be made of the application of the agreement three years after its entry into force, on the basis of a report to be drawn up by the Legal Services of the three institutions; the Commission should step up its work of electronic consolidation of the main legal acts in force and make the results accessible via the Internet.�
